SG9 Forester STI. Parts in common with Impreza/standard fozz
Discussion
Starting to get a few issues with my '06 FSTI so trying to find a good source of parts.
Does anyone know the ins and outs of what this car has in common with both non sti foresters and also Imprezas of the same vintage?
In the near future I'm going to want
-Discs and pads
-Suspension parts (top mounts)
-Drive shafts
-Headlights (hopefully sorted but lots of LHD parts on the market to confuse things)
Are any decent number of parts available via UK dealships? There's only so many dodgy looking websites and ebay listings I can look at before going mad. Very little confidence in ever sourcing the right part.
If drivetrain bits are predominantly all Impreza STI then at least it would be easier to find aftermarket support for some stuff. Similarly, if a lot of parts are common to UK foresters then I might have a a decent amout of luck via a dealership.

Thanks for the replies so far gents. I'm finally getting round to having a look at the headlights and it's a bit worse than I first thought.
Offside has obviously been apart before and has been letting in water. Ballast is soaked and looks very doubtful it'll fuction once dry.
I'm not averse to buying new if need be but having a quick look online there's a fair few different part numbers. I've had a quick look over mine and can't see a part number anywhere. Obviously, as vxr has mentioned, these are manual levelling but other than that I'm a bit stuck. 84001SA430, 84001SA690, 84001SA691 all look possible.
Looks like there are relatively cheap suppliers of new ballast so I guess I can give everything a good clean up and then just replace that. At least there's a clear part number on it!
